I am 42 and have a class 3 malocclusion. Would like it corrected. What are my options? (Photo)

I had a consultation with an orthodontist that feels braces won't correct my profile. He said braces could improve my bite by pushing my front teeth in front of my bottom teeth (with the possible use of reverse headgear) but he doesn't feel it will affect my profile. He offered veneers but I'm not interested in that. Was really hoping braces would work. What are my options?
